Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Herne Bay: what's included

Steel keeps its strength well in fire and can carry the weight of thick EI glass over long spans.
- Powder-coated RAL finishes
- Fire-stopping and deflection heads
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
- Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
